TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the charge distributions at fixed mass asymmetry and their widths seem to be due to classical statistical fluctuations, such as quantal fluctuations of the giant E1 mode.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fission data were interpreted in terms of a continuous transition between Coulomb fission and several transfer-induced fission processes, and the transfer cross sections were measured radiochemically in the energy range 0.7≦E/ECoul≦1.85×ECoul.

TL;DR: In this article, a search with radiochemical methods for long-lived superheavy elements in 238U targets bombarded with intense beams of136Xe ions produced negative results, and a formation cross section of ≤ 1×10−35 cm2 was deduced at 95% confidence level for nuclides with half-lives between 1 and 200 d.

TL;DR: In this article, a rotating wheel system for the detection of spontaneously fissioning reaction products from heavy ion reactions was developed, where products recoiling from a rotating target wheel are stopped in a catcher foil stack which can be rotated at various velocities up to 80 rotations per second.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the differences between electron or light-particle bombardment as compared with heavy-ion bombardment in terms of failure mechanisms and the importance of choosing the appropriate substrate metal.
